Expectation of academic excellence is a hallmark of Brebeuf Jesuit. A rigorous academic curriculum is offered in the classical Jesuit tradition. Students follow a challenging liberal arts program to develop skills in critical thinking, communication and learning. Technology tools and writing are incorporated throughout the curriculum to enhance research, idea development and presentation skills. Students are encouraged to be inquisitive and open to growth, thus discovering and exploring new ideas and issues. Brebeuf Jesuit teachers follow the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, which includes experience, reflection and action.
Graduation Requirements
All students are required to take a minimum of six courses per semester; freshmen are required to take seven. A total of 50 credits are required for graduation, plus an additional 40 hours of supervised community service. Students may also work to fulfill the requirements of the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma, which vary slightly from Brebeuf Jesuit’s basic graduation requirements.
